The core will rise to street level very early next year. By this time next year the tower base will be rising to the first office floor.

Things are finally looking up, in more ways than one. Literally and figuratively.

Well, at least the first half of Ground Zero is getting fully underway with the Freedom Tower and the memorial.

The other half, I think, is still being prepped, but the new permenant PATH Station is underway as well.

WTC Thursday August 30. 2007

And the beat goes on!!

A hazy day here in Gotham....
the site still does not provide any decent spot where to take pics of One World Trade Center construction...
but the construction still going on..big difference from the last time i was there last month.....by December this shit will be out of street level!!!

the freedom tower white column is halfwway buried in concrete now..for eternity....I HOPE

another eyesore still around...besides 130 Liberty st

See, it was a long wait, but now things are turning into high gear and progress is clearly being made. The development of the core is fully taking shape, and it should only be a matter of time until steel is rising.

December is not that far off. It will make for an excellent Christmas present!

CarlosV · #**1727** Posted **Aug 30, 2007, 10:46 PM**

earth movers galore!!

Daquan13 · #**1728** Posted **Aug 30, 2007, 10:56 PM**

In the bottom pic, it looks as though they are finally doing something with THAT eyesore as well.

I don't think the scalfolding was there before.

thanks i appreciate it...it takes a lot of money and time to keep up with this hobby...

tourists..most likely from Bavaria

Daquan13 · #**1731** Posted **Aug 31, 2007, 12:26 AM**

Yeah, Ground Zero is STILL one of New York Ciy's main tourist attractions, even though the Twins no longer stand.

Almost as if they were still standing there! But they can watch history in the making, as the land is about to be hustling and bustling with constr. equipment all over the place.

And 7 WTC seems to almost blend in with the blue sky on bright sunny days! Especially on the sides that the sun shine on. Timeless!

Nice update pics Carlos. It is nice to see some actual progress that we can somewhat measure. Most of the progress thus far has been hard for some of us to gauge.

37TimPPG · #**1734** Posted **Aug 31, 2007, 6:40 AM**

Excellent Pictures Carlos! Thanks!

This is very exciting! Very, very exciting!

Daquan13 · #**1735** Posted **Aug 31, 2007, 8:13 AM**

As the bottom pic shows, the tower's structural height is just as tall as the old Twins, yet some people at other sites still continue to constantly whine for the Twins to be rebuilt.

Great work, Carlos!!!

Is 7WTC occupied by tenants yet? Or is the inside not quite finished?

djvandrake · #**1737** Posted **Aug 31, 2007, 5:19 PM**

You da man Carlos. Many thanks for the pics from street level.

There's been weather and webcam issues for the past 2 weeks, so the second half of August isn't pretty.

7 WTC DOES have tenants. Not sure if the tower is fully occupied yet, but there ARE some tenants in there.

And it should be finished. It opened a year ago.

CarlosV · #**1740** Posted **Aug 31, 2007, 8:19 PM**

7 WTC is already 70% rented
